Chapter 77 Becoming His Chance
A girl in a green dress came out of the tent in the morning light, like a mountain elf.
After a closer look, what kind of female ghost is that? It is clearly the grown-up, graceful and elegant Chu Xishi!
Even so, Lou Su slowly turned his head to look at Chu Xihen with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
The scene of Chu Xichen standing in front of the tent was beautiful but also weird. Only Chu Xichen could answer their doubts.
"I was wondering why she hasn't grown up in ten years. Turns out this is the case." Chu Xihen gave the answer, but it seemed as if he had said nothing.
Chu Xi walked towards the three people with a smile and greeted them politely, "Good morning, brother, good morning, brother Lou, and good morning, Xiao Lingyao."
When Ling Yao heard her gentle voice, sweet smile, and dignified posture, he felt as if struck by lightning.
"Good morning... Weird... No, good morning, Miss Chu." Ling Yao spoke haltingly while simply saying hello, as if her tongue had just been bought and installed.
He got up with a red face and ran into the woods as if escaping. "I, I'll go wash up over there."
This is not about washing up, but about calming down.
When Chu Xichi saw his back, a hint of doting appeared on his face.
"Come on, little girl, sit down and talk." Lou Su patted the grass beside him, motioning Chu Xishi to sit down and talk.
It was still early, and Lou Su thought he could ask Chu Xichi about his situation while eating breakfast.
Chu Xichen sat down with a reserved manner. After Chu Xichen took out the tools from the mall and washed up, he exchanged for a rich breakfast and put it on the ground.
There was a tablecloth on the ground, and they gathered around it as if they were on a spring outing.
"Brother should have guessed my situation." Chu Xichi said, "I am Xie's secondary personality. She split out when she was nine years old. After brother left the institute, her condition has been very bad. She attempted suicide several times, and then I was born."
"Why?" Chu Xihen asked, "Shouldn't she be happy if she won?"
He made a rough guess after seeing Chu Xichi in girl form, but he didn't expect that she became like this because of him!
"She was very happy at first, but that night she heard that the loser would be kicked out of the institute and hunted down. She realized that you didn't want her to leave and deliberately lost the game. Then she became weird. If she hadn't defeated you and become the strongest person in the institute, they would have paid more attention to her. She would have successfully committed suicide on the third day after you left."
Chu Xiqi's voice was soft, and his tone was neither fast nor slow, but it was filled with heartache.
When Lou Su heard her words, he suddenly grabbed Chu Xihen's hand.
"Will you be hunted down if you leave the institute?" Chu Xiqi said a long string of words, but Lou Su's ears started to deafen after hearing this sentence, and he didn't hear what she said afterwards.
He had no chance to hear from Chu Xihen himself that Chu Xihen grew up in the research institute, but before he could be prepared, he was attacked head-on by Chu Xihen.
"Of course." Chu Xizhi said softly: "The institute spent resources to train a person to become a mass killer. If they don't kill him, what if he harms society? And he is no longer a member of the institute. How can he survive by using the skills he got from the institute? So leaving the institute means death."
Chu Xihen felt Lou Su squeezing his hand harder and harder. He raised his other hand and patted the back of his hand. "It's okay. Am I fine now?"
At this point, Chu Xiqi asked curiously, "Brother, did you survive because you entered that infinite game?"
"Yeah." Chu Xihen nodded. "When I was eighteen, I was suddenly pulled into a game. There were a lot of drugs in the game that could prolong my life, and that's how I survived."
"Extend life?" Lou Su recalled the night of the exchange meeting when Chu Xihen was awakened by a nightmare. "You said your poor health before was related to the research institute?"
Chu Xihen nodded, but it was Chu Xichi who explained to Lou Su, "The direction of the research institute is to use various drugs and instruments to stimulate a person's potential and limits. This is equivalent to forcing growth, which is very harmful to the human body. At this time, a large amount of drugs and instruments are needed to assist."
"We, monsters created by drugs, will become weak if we leave the institute. Even if we are lucky enough to survive their pursuit, we will only have three years to live at most." Chu Xiqi said this, and then he looked at Chu Xihen and smiled, "Fortunately, that game saved my brother."
Chu Xichi had always been crazy and firmly believed that Chu Xihen was still alive, but she didn't expect that her dream would come true.
"Yes, fortunately." Chu Xihen also echoed.
Even though life in the game was not easy, he would rather live a hard life than die directly, so he worked hard to clear the dungeons in the game and did not dare to stop for a moment.
When Lou Su heard about Chu Xihen's life story, he felt as if his heart was being hammered again and again with a hammer. The dull pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
Chu Xichi said that people who left the research institute without medication could only live for three years at most, but Chu Xihen managed to hold on for six years despite being hunted. He couldn't imagine how Chu Xihen managed to survive.
There were a bunch of delicious food on the ground, but no one had an appetite. Even Ling Yao, who used the excuse of going to wash up, hid behind the tent and was very sad when he heard it.
Chu Xihen didn't like this depressing atmosphere, so he held Lou Su with his backhand and gently pinched his fingers to soothe his emotions.
Then he asked Chu Xiqi: "How did you leave the institute?"
Even though it is the end of the world now, it shouldn't affect the research institute in the short term.
Chu Xi replied sarcastically: "The night before the end of the world, I awakened my supernatural powers and killed everyone inside. After I came out, I set the entire research institute on fire."
Lou Su frowned slightly when he heard this, "Although you did a great job, but before you left, didn't you take the medicine you needed?"
He is now very worried about Chu Xihen's physical condition. There is medicine in the game that can save his life, but now that game no longer exists, has Chu Xihen's medicine also run out?
"No, the institute was well prepared and all the medicines were destroyed, so I killed people and burned down the house." Chu Xichi's original plan was to get the medicine, and then leave the institute to look for Chu Xihen.
Who knew that she got nothing and destroyed the institute in anger.
"What if your body doesn't have medicine to support it?" Lou Su said and then looked at Chu Xihen, "And you, if I'm not mistaken, you finished the game but didn't make a wish to make yourself healthy. Instead, you delayed the arrival of the end of the world by two years, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, and neither will my brother." Chu Xichi raised her hand, and a ball of green light appeared on her fair palm. "I have awakened the healing ability, which can help my brother repair his body."
Chu Xihen and Lou Su were stunned when they saw the green light, "You actually have healing abilities?"
They were shocked not because the healing power was rare, but because little Loli Chu Xichi already had moon-attribute powers, and now she had a different body shape and even the attributes of her powers, and it was an extremely rare wood-attribute healing power!
"So don't be afraid, Brother Lou. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine." Chu Xi promised solemnly.
Chu Xihen once deliberately lost the competition set by the research institute, leaving the chance of survival to her. So in the days to come, let her become Chu Xihen's life force.
